Plymouth, WI – April 25, 2013 –Plymouth, Wisconsin will host its first annual Mural and Arts Festival, a unique, multi-faceted fine arts festival and celebration inspired by the Walldogs street art murals that dot the historic downtown. The weekend festival, from Friday, June 28 through Sunday, June 30, boasts a wide variety of activities, including a juried fine art fair, live music, strolling entertainers and musicians, street vendors, a Cabaret show, community theater events, and children’s activities ranging from a petting zoo and interactive storytelling to coloring huge 7’ long murals scattered throughout the downtown area. “The murals will come to life during the festival,” says Mary Martin, Executive Director of Plymouth Chamber of Commerce. “Each of the 25 hand-painted murals represents an exciting element of our history and culture, giving visitors a taste of what makes Plymouth such a wonderful place to explore and experience.” One highlight of the event occurs Saturday evening at 7 pm, when the Mural and Arts Festival will dedicate Plymouth's 25th outdoor mural, which was painted in Summer of 2012. The festival coincides with the fifth annual juried Festival of Fine Arts at the Plymouth Arts Center. Over 25 local and regional artists will display and sell their original fine art from their booths on Mill Street from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, June 29. Artists working in a wide range of media will compete for Best in Show awards and cash prizes. During the art fair hours, look for artist demonstrations, face painting, and ongoing kids’ art workshops conducted by Abrakadoodle in the Arts Center classrooms, where children can create and take home their own works of art. Donna Hahn, Executive Director of Plymouth Arts Center, explains, “Between the mural street performances, the live music, and the incredible artists who will be exhibiting their works at our Festival, we will showcase that Plymouth has become the fine arts center of the Upper Kettle Moraine area.” Friday night activities include the “Mill Street Live,” a cabaret musical performance from 7:30 to 9:30 pm at the Plymouth Arts Center as well as free admission to the "Alive in the Arts" exhibition on display in Gallery 110 North. Mill Street Live’s high-energy song and dance review features popular music guaranteed to entertain audiences of all ages.
